Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.

Get the available databases for an Atlas MongoDB Process. The Atlas MongoDB process must be a mongod.

The Atlas Administration API authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request. To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Get Started with the Atlas Administration API.

https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/atlas/v1.0

GET api/atlas/v1.0/groups/{GROUP-ID}/processes/{HOST}:{PORT}/databases
Parameter
Type
Necessity
Description
GROUP-ID
string
Required
Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the project that owns this Atlas MongoDB process.
HOST
string
Required
Hostname, FQDN, IPv4 address, or IPv6 address of the machine running the Atlas MongoDB process.
PORT
number
Required
IANA port to which the Atlas MongoDB process listens.

This endpoint may use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas Administration API resources. These are all optional.

Name
Type
Necessity
Description
Default
pageNum
integer
Optional
Page number, starting with one, that Atlas returns of the total number of objects.
1
itemsPerPage
integer
Optional
Number of items that Atlas returns per page, up to a maximum of 500.
100
includeCount
boolean
Optional
Flag that indicates whether Atlas returns the totalCount parameter in the response body.
true
pretty
boolean
Optional
Flag that indicates whether Atlas returns the JSON response in the prettyprint format.
false
envelope
boolean
Optional

Flag that indicates whether Atlas wraps the response in an envelope.

Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Atlas adds the status parameter to the response body.

false

This endpoint does not use HTTP request body parameters.

The response JSON document includes an array of result objects, an array of link objects and a count of the total number of result objects retrieved.

Name
Type
Description
results
array of objects

links
array of objects

One or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. The relations between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification

totalCount
integer
Count of the total number of items in the result set. It may be greater than the number of objects in the results array if the entire result set is paginated.
Name
Type
Description
databaseName
string
Name of the database. You can use the value to retrieve measurements for the database.
links

One or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. The relations between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification
